I started playing professional basketball in 1971, and I played professionally for five seasons before going to Philadelphia.

When I played, the owners had the power. The prisoners are running the prison now, not the warden. The warden is strong and he has say so but, the balance of power is definitely with the players.

One of the things in the back of my mind is that, after my sports experience, I never want to be, totally consumed by any one endeavor, other than my family life.

But you know, we have a very normal family. We've had our ups and downs. You know, we've had our issues, but we've had great cause for celebration.

If you're not doing what is best for your body, you are the one who lose.

I've always tried to tell myself that the work itself is the thing, that win, lose, or draw, the work is really what counts.

I came from a broken home, so my mom was a major influence in my life.
